I recommend HalfD for non-Source servers.

The download links are, of course, broken and I don't see another location out there but I can temporarily make it available: halfd-2.20b15.tar.gz http://tinyurl.com/dhw7t halfd-2.20b15.md5 http://tinyurl.com/9fxuc I'm still using it on our DoD servers. Insane Husayn I still use halfd on a CS 1.6 server. On my home PC (XP), I use The Overlord to monitor server activity - it's Windows based. The last version that Rob Abbott (Maelstrom) released was 2.20b18. The server-client communication has a problem with the Steam IDs when someone is connecting. This gets the user list on the client (Overlord or hlgui) out-of-order and you can end up applying a kick or whatever to the wrong player. I can make this version available if there is any interest. ..Chuck ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

The hlds_run script uses valve as the default but it does not list any game types, including gearbox. It allows gearbox as an install option (also allows valve but doesn't list it). I can run: /steam -command update -game valve -dir . -username $STEAMUSER -password $STEAMPASSWD -verify_all This just appears to verify the contents of the existing valve directory. I can also run: /steam -command update -game gearbox -dir . -username $STEAMUSER -password $STEAMPASSWD -verify_all The gearbox version generates a new directory gearbox with maps and stuff, like the cstrike directory for Counter-Strike. Make sure that you have downloaded all of the game files for the gearbox mod type. Hope that helps. ..Chuck (Old and Slow) http://www.TexasArlingtonCS.us ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] %n
Halfd relies on the hlds_run script, which is not available in source servers. It reads several variables from that file and the environment. I'm sure the halfd perl script could be edited, however until that's done, it's not compatible. Actually, halfd bypasses the hlds_run script (there is a big caution NOT to use this in the config file) and determines the binaries itself (v2.20b16-18). All you have to do is specify the SRCDS binary in the cfg file. However, since halfd wraps the srcds stdin/stdout, it doesn't quite understand the new formats and, although it runs, doesn't have full control. ..Chuck Folks: Does halfd (http://www.halfd.org) work with CS:S? If it did then it would be a simple matter of putting %n and any clan tags you wish in the first section of halfd.exclude. Result: insta-ban. Cheers, Insane Husayn ServerOp I gave it a try during CSS:Beta but it had some major problems - logs are different, status is different.

RE: [hlds_linux] CS:S Maps
Alfred, We are getting less and less players on our servers by the day, we used to run 8 servers now we run 4 and may lose 2 of these by the end of the week as they are not getting used. Can we expect a release shortly ? Mark I don't think that you understand the concept of beta test - you are looking for a full-blown release. That is not the case. A beta is a semi-controlled environment to keep as much constant as possible to weed out bugs before a full release. There IS a reason for only one map. Beta testing requires a dedicated set of players to help find and report bugs and provide feedback to the developers. It is NOT to fill servers. I see a lot of empty CS:S servers now because all the players just want to play, not help test. Once the novelty wears off - they go back to their self-centered gaming needs. I suggest that you wait for the full release before you worry about hosting x number of CS:S servers. ..Chuck, just my opinion http://www.TexasArlingtonCS.us (sorry, all down due to hard drive failure) 8^( ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Success with HLDS on AMD64?
The only HL mod that runs in full 64-bit mode is Counter-Strike - none of the others have the 64-bit shared object (SO). I have been running a 64-bit CS 1.6 server for well over a month (and a test version before that) once 64-bit AdminMod and StatsMe were available. I am running 64-bit versions of: HLDS, MetaMod 1.17.2p10, AdminMod 2.50.60, and StatsMe 2.8.3. I use Suse 9.0-64, although 9.1 is out with 32/64 in the same box, I have not tried it yet. You can run the 32-bit versions of HLDS by using the command line parameter: -binary hldsrun_amd That will prevent the auto-detection from cranking up the 64-bit version. The 64-bit HLDS and the 32-bit mod SO running together DOES NOT mix - that is why you seg fault. ..Chuck http://www.TexasArlingtonCS.us (sorry, site server down - hard drive failed) 8^( Asus K8V mobo, Athlon64 3200, 1.5 gb of Corsair DDR400 memory Suse Linux 9.0-64 2 cords - power and ethernet in response to: I'm trying desperately to try and run a linux based dedicated server with an AMD64 chip, but czero keeps crashing.

Re: [hlds_linux] Success with HLDS on AMD64?
How did you edit that file(hlds_run), Would it be possible for you to either show me how you did it or give me a copy of yourhlds_run, because nobody int he forums knows how to do it, and I've heard others ask how to skip over the auto-detect as well. thanks so much, this would actually solve the problem. You don't need to edit the hlds_run script to disable auto-detect. Just add the following to your command line: -binary hlds_amd other binary options are hlds_amd64, hlds_i486, and hlds_i686. (you might need to specify the local directory: -binary ./hlds_amd) Try that and see if it works. ..Chuck ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] server crash

It stills crashes. ./srcds_run -debug -game cstrike -port 27025 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust I have read something that the -port command is NOT working at this time - you may be out of the port range.
